Daryl,

If you are running a design company you should be aware of what constitutes speculative work. Making an offer that only results in payment if the work is selected would be speculative. I am not telling you how to run your business, but this is not considered the most ethical way to find new work. Especially if the work takes a week to complete.

A persons portfolio and an interview should be enough for you to determine if they are qualified or not.

Practicing business this way will turn off a lot of the extremely qualified candidates...
